History Characters / TeenTitansStarfire

** This is {{averted|Trope}} in ''Comicbook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'' and the [[ComicBook/Starfire2015 solo series]]. Komand'r genuinely loves her sister, has nothing to do with the Gordanian invasion that leaves Komand'r as the planet's queen, and only reluctantly signs away her sister to save the rest of the planet.
* CanonDiscontinuity: Her [[ComicBook/Starfire2015 solo series]] does not seem to acknowledge anything from ''Comicbook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws''. Though it does seem to incorporate her romantic history with [[Comicbook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]].

** She was widowed twice, both times with Tamaranean men, the prince of a different kingdom and a military general, who died [[HeroicSacrifice heroically]]. The second only managed to be alive for a scant few months, from the GainaxEnding of ''New Titans'' to the prologue of ''Comicbook/FinalNight''.

* DudeMagnet: She is a [[HeadTurningBeauty real head-turner]]. Case in point, when she visits the Gotham City Police Department in ''ComicBook/GothamCentral'', every man stares at her slack-jawed and so do [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer a few women]]. Lampshaded by Blackfire in ''[[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders The Outsiders]]'':

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Even though she still loves him, Starfire encourages Comicbook/{{Nightwing}} to propose to [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara Gordon]] in ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}} Nightwing/Oracle'' #1.

Starfire is a Creator/DCComics {{superhero}} created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Perez, first appearing in the October 1980 issue of ''ComicBook/NewTeenTitans''.

Starfire is an alien super-hero with powers of flight and energy projection. Born a princess on the planet Tamaran, she escaped execution at the hands of her older sister Blackfire and traveled to Earth. Meeting the Teen Titans, she became a charter member and stayed with the team for most of her career. Her culture's different standards of intimacy cause her to be extremely open and sexually liberated by human standards.

* LightIsGood: Starfire he is a superheroine with [[DependingOnTheArtist gold/orange skin]] and the ability to [[PowerOfTheSun to absorb and project ultraviolet radiation]].

* FierySensuality: Starfire is an [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe orange-skinned]] alien princess with the power to absorb ultraviolet radiation and release it as powerful blasts of heat. She is known for her {{Stripperiffic}} outfits and open sexuality.

* LightIsGood: She is a superheroine who is [[PowerOfTheSun powered by solar energy]].

* MagicKiss: Starfire can [[TranslatorMicrobes learn any person's language]] with [[TouchTelepathy a touch]], but she chooses to do it with a kiss because it's more fun that way. Humorously lampshaded way back in the [[IntercontinuityCrossover X-Men / Teen Titans crossover]] when she kissed Colossus after hearing him say something in Russian and realizing it was a new language. Nightcrawler, upon observing this, asked "Fraulein, sprechen sie Deustsch?"(Young lady, do you speak German?)

* BloodKnight: In her original appearances she's actually quite fierce and vicious, the most likely of the team to resort to excessive force in battle, considering she was raised in a warrior culture.

* EnergyAbsorption: She's able to absorb ultraviolet radiation into her body, which is used to fuel most of her powers. All Tamaraneans are able to do this, but hers and Blackfire's were amplified when they were experimented on by the Psions, making them much stronger than the average Tamaranean.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: More than few girls can be seen [[EatingTheEyeCandy checking her out]] with the men when she enters a room.

* GoodIsNotSoft: She is a NiceGirl with a heart of gold that is dedicated to her friends, but has a no-nonsense attitude towards evil villains and often treats them with no mercy.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: She is able to release all of her stored solar radiation at once, releasing an explosion so powerful it was comparable to a small ''supernova''.

Princesses Koriand'r and Komand'r of planet Tamaran were captured by the Psions, who experimented on the sisters and gave them the ability to shoot solar blasts. Koriand'r escaped her jailers and reached Earth, where she joined the ComicBook/TeenTitans, then formed by ComicBook/{{Robin}} (Dick Grayson), Changeling (Garfield Logan), ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} (Victor Stone), Kid Flash (ComicBook/WallyWest), ComicBook/{{Raven}}, and ComicBook/WonderGirl (Donna Troy).

* TheyDo: With Nightwing, for a time. In ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'', they're finally married.

* CelebrityMasquerade: Became famous as a FashionModel under the name of Kory Anderson.

* ExposedExtraterrestrials: Her people don't put place much value into clothes as they see nothing inherently unchaste about nudity and since they are [[FlyingBrick more durable and tougher than humans]], they don't have problems with it being impractical either, as ArmorIsUseless to them. In fact, they ''require'' exposure to ultraviolet radiation in order to fuel their powers. Starfire initially found the human mode of dress to be unnecessarily prudish and restrictive, but eventually grew to be more acceptive of it due to her work as a FashionModel, though her personal wardrobe remains {{Stripperiffic}} and she's still a ShamelessFanserviceGirl who has no hang-ups about nudity.

* FanserviceModel: For a time, Starfire had a successful career as a FashionModel. She appears on a shoot in one of the eighties comics modelling a WritingAroundTrademarks-version of Guess Jeans. It involves her wearing a pair of the aforementioned jeans and nothing else, and a ''lot'' of sexy ToplessnessFromTheBack.

* HumanAliens: Like most Tamaraneans, she's nearly indistinguishable from a human, save for her [[MonochromaticEyes solid green eyes]], usually [[StatuesqueStunner exceptional height]], FlamingHair and [[AmazingTechnicolorPopulation spray-tan color skin]], yet are specifically stated to taxonomically be descended from something more feline than an ape. She looked enough like humans that she had a successful career as a FashionModel.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Most versions of her costume are sling swimsuits with boots, showing her cleavage, midriff, and legs. Justified, as she is superhumanly tough, her powers are fueled by absorbing UV radiation through her skin, and [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl she is comfortable showing off her body]] due to Tamaranean culture having no moral taboos about nudity and she's had a career on Earth as a FashionModel. In ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'', she effectively has only a pair of pasties covering her nipples, and the bikini she wears late in the first issue actually manages to be ''more'' modest than her default costume. This has since been toned down, however; in her [[ComicBook/Starfire2015 solo series]] she wears a long-sleeved crop top and hot pants, her ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' costume is a leotard with thigh high boots, and in the ''Justice League Odyssey'' series she was given her current look—a light purple leotard with a gold collar and pauldrons, and thigh-high boots with gold trim. Her original ''New Teen Titans'' costume does appear on occasion in {{flashback}}s and Elseworlds stories, but the more modest redesigns seem to be her new status quo.

* ''VideoGame/TeenTitans2003''

* MostCommonSuperPower: Starfire has always been drawn to be bustier than all her fellow female teammates. It was one of the reason Terra I called her "[[GagBoobs balloon bod]]" to insult her. Some artists have drawn her to have the third-largest breasts in DC, behind only the [[Franchise/WonderWoman second]] and [[ComicBook/PowerGirl first]].

* AdaptationalModesty: She is one of the more famous {{Stripperiffic}} comic book characters because her costumes often come down to being just strategically placed straps. ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' gave her a skirt and top that only [[BareYourMidriff reveals her stomach]]. This look influenced her New 52 comic redesign and her depiction in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueVsTeenTitans''.

* BareYourMidriff: Most of her outfits expose her stomach with really few exceptions.

* {{Stripperiffic}}: Most versions of her costume are sling swimsuits with boots, showing her cleavage, [[BareYourMidriff midriff]], and legs. Justified, as she is superhumanly tough, her powers are fueled by absorbing UV radiation through her skin, and [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl she is comfortable showing off her body]] due to Tamaranean culture having no moral taboos about nudity and she's had a career on Earth as a FashionModel. In ''ComicBook/RedHoodAndTheOutlaws'', she effectively has only a pair of pasties covering her nipples, and the bikini she wears late in the first issue actually manages to be ''more'' modest than her default costume. This has since been toned down, however; in her [[ComicBook/Starfire2015 solo series]] she wears a long-sleeved crop top and hot pants, her ''ComicBook/DCRebirth'' costume is a leotard with thigh high boots, and in the ''Justice League Odyssey'' series she was given her current look—a light purple leotard with a gold collar and pauldrons, and thigh-high boots with gold trim. Her original ''New Teen Titans'' costume does appear on occasion in {{flashback}}s and Elseworlds stories, but the more modest redesigns seem to be her new status quo.

* SexyWalk: She apparently does this unconsciously and once got an entire police station getting DistractedByTheSexy just by strutting around the place.

* SuperStrength: Slightly stronger than ComicBook/WonderGirl (Donna Troy). She can lift 100 tonnes without struggling.

* MostCommonSuperPower: Starfire has always been drawn to be [[BuxomIsBetter bustier than all her fellow female teammates]]. It was one of the reason Terra I called her "[[GagBoobs balloon bod]]" to insult her. Some artists have drawn her to have the third-largest breasts in DC, behind only the [[Franchise/WonderWoman second]] and [[ComicBook/PowerGirl first]].

* ActionGirl: One of the most prominent female fighters in the DC universe. ​Even without her powers, she's still a capable hand-to-hand fighter, having received combat trained in combat at a very early age.
